Guide To Buying Tires

Check The Tires’ Age

Knowing how old a tire actually is is just as important as knowing what condition it is in. Luckily, all tires are marked with a tire identification code imprinted into the sidewall. Check with a tire’s manufacturer to determine how to read these codes; a good rule of thumb is to take the last numbers in the code and assume these to be the year the tire was made. Don’t buy any used tires over five years old.
